I don't find this funny... I really don't like this story.I really don't understand the humor of this author... the notion that an MC needs to be such a cuckold has always rubbed me the wrong way, there is "good person" and then there is "push over s*upid" guess where does the MC falls into?... his "haha funny" bits are repetitive, over and over and over it's the same s*upid little joke...You're supposed to create an MC that is somewhat relatable, but no one in their right mind would act the way this MC acts... I don't like to rate works based on feelings that's why the stars I put don't reflect my review, because I know it would be unfair, this is of the few reviews I'll talk about my taste, not only technique from the author...The author is competent enough, his work haves a very good pacing and world building for a novel of this kind, it's not so much an exposition dump, the world is vast but elusive and blurry because of this, which is fine we can get there later, that's a big part of the charm.The actions scenes are great!, incredible even, you can clearly see what is happening and the fluidity I can only hope to find on translated works doesn't falter at all.The dialog and interactions between the characters is very well done, the development of the story haves set up and pay off, although a bit short sighted, it still works (not everyone can write an epic with set up from several chapters behind) The problem I have with all this, is that it's wasted on a very very very dumb "haha I'm a weak coward" joke... which is the only joke you'll find here, no other jokes are made... self depreciation for me, isn't funny... it's a set up for things to come, 175 chapters and it's still the same joke... character growth? can you eat it?I don't really mind works without character growth... but I can't for the life of me, enjoy a person like this.And it's even worse when you know it's a blatant lie from chapter one.EDIT: I've being reading the Manga, and it's much MUCH better over there... just wanted to leave this note because I was caught up with most of what I wanted to catch up and didn't have anything to read and saw my review and noticed that someone else said that the manga is much better.He doesn't come off as a whimpy whinny guy, and the character interactions are more fleshed out and there is MORE than one punch line whereas here it seems that the sole focus of the story is "I'm a coward" over there it shows more things much better.
